Max Verstappen left a sim driver fuming after they clashed during an iRacing event this week.
Jaden Munoz, part of the Williams iRacing Academy, went wheel-to-wheel with four-time F1 champion Verstappen at the start of a virtual race in LMDh machinery at Road America.
The duo were battling for the lead at the start but came to blows before they even made it to the first corner.
It caused Verstappen to drop to the back of the grid, with Munoz already signalling his displeasure with Verstappen's driving.
“Look how dumb he is,” Munoz said. “He doesn't change, ever. He's so dumb.”
Verstappen waited for Munoz to circle around and as the former attempted to lap the Red Bull driver, the pair clashed again.
“I knew it. This is why you're gifted everything in your life, Max,” Munoz commented.
“You're a spoiled brat. You'd be nothing without your father, you'd be nothing. You'd be a nobody.
“He's such a fucking idiot.”
See the two incidents incident below - first the race start crash and then the intentional shove from Verstappen.
